Marktech Optoelectronics a privately-held designer and manufacturer of standard and custom optoelectronics components and assemblies, including UV, visible, near-infrared, and short-wave infrared emitters, detectors, InP epiwafers, and other materials, for aerospace, automotive, industrial automation, in-laboratory R&D, medical, robotics, sensors, wearables, telecommunications, and other applications, today announced the achievement of its veteran-owned small business certification (VSOB).
This Marktech VSOB certification, awarded by the United States Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization, via its Center for Verification and Evaluation (CVE), follows the company’s successful completion of a nearly year-long stringent application process. Over the next three years, this certification affords Marktech new eligibility under the Veterans First Contracting Program for VA federal contracting opportunities and related set asides, and with subsequent potential for certification renewal.
Marktech is the only known U.S. optoelectronics manufacturer to currently have such a distinction.
